Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 451 Soldiers to Gu'an County

Gu'an County

Above the county town, Wu Shou, Grand Sima of the State of Wei, wearing a black fish-scale armor inside and a fox-fur cloak outside, surrounded by a group of generals, held the crenels of the city wall with his hands, and specially watered the frozen city wall. Wisps of chill seeped into the skin between the palms.

Wu Shou raised his eyes and looked at the rebel camp several miles away, his eyes were also a little imperceptibly serious.

It's deep winter, the new wind is like a knife, and everything is withered. As far as the eye can see, the world is vast, and it is a scene of chilling.

The rebels in Weiguo Border County, led by the former Weijun Wei Pan, had nearly [-] people. They dug trenches high, set up flags and streamers, and built camp fences. The military camp stretched for two or three miles.

There is an endless stream of dingfus and pack horses transporting grain and fodder.

At the same time, on the wilderness where the snow had melted, the rebel cavalry came galloping in all directions, with arrows wrapped in silk on their backs in their arrow pots. enter.

The writing on the silk is nothing more than an offensive statement, using the father to cut down the son, admonishing the army to turn around.

However, at the same time, there were cavalry soldiers of the guarding state army, who went out to fight and expel them.

And this stalemate has lasted for half a month.

Since the beginning of winter, the weather has become more and more severe. After a violent attack not long ago, the rebel army led by Wei Pan changed to the strategy of "surrounding but not attacking, and battling at every step".

Cooperating with the [-] Jin army of Zhao Quji, the young Sima of the Jin Kingdom, the room for movement of Wu Shou's troops was gradually reduced.

In the end, the guards led by Wu Shou were gradually compressed in the northeast of Gu'an County.

Wei Pan even followed the counselor's advice, resorted to an offensive strategy, and sent agents to hook up with the prestige and power in Gu'an County.

These strategies can be said to be quite effective, at least in half a month, there have been five or six incidents of soldiers fleeing in the guard army led by Wu Shou.

He even hooked up with Wei Pan, a big family in the city, and secretly communicated with him.

Five days ago, the Quan family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family held a banquet and invited Wu Shou to the mansion to discuss the supply of food, fodder and military supplies.

Wu Shou is also ruthless, spreading his pro-military forces, mobilizing the entire city, and bloody cleansing of the county's big households who secretly communicated, killing people's heads.

Then collect all the treasures of the three counties, and reward the generals and schools with gold, silk, delicacies, and fine wines.

On this side, seeing the cavalry and scouts chasing and fighting in the open plain, Wu Shou frowned, feeling overwhelmed with gloom.

Turning his head to ask the deputy general beside him, he said, "General Hua, do you have any military information today?"

The two armies, one inside the city and one outside the city, must communicate with each other at all times to prevent accidents.

Every evening, Hualiang would send his own soldiers into the city to deliver news.

Hearing the question, the deputy general's expression changed, and he reported: "General Hua hasn't sent any military information yet."

And at the stall where the two were discussing, they saw a captain of the guard hurried up on the road below the city wall, holding a letter bag wrapped in cowhide in his hand, and said: "Commander, Diqiu urgently deliver it."

Wu Shou's face was slightly startled, his heart moved, and he said, "Bring it quickly."

He took it from the school lieutenant, opened it and read it, his complexion changed, and he suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter shook all directions, and the military academy on the city wall cast a surprised look.

The lieutenant general asked, "Why is Sima Wu laughing?"

Wu Shou purposely said in a loud voice: "This commander laughs that Zhao Jian's tricks have been exhausted, and he pays for it... He used Han Renyan, the post-Jin general, to attack Yunyi, wanting to cut off our army's retreat, but he didn't want Su Wei The coalition forces captured Yunyi lightly the day before yesterday, and Han Renyan's [-] troops have been wiped out!"

As soon as this remark came out, the generals on the city wall were in an uproar, all surprised and delighted.

Speaking of which, Wu Shou knew the news of the [-] reinforcements from the Su State. At the very moment when he decided to send troops, Su Zhao told Wu Shou this important military information with the help of the Gu Diao couple, so as to strengthen his heart of rejecting Jin. .

But at that time, Wu Shou just suppressed and didn't tell the generals!

"So that the generals can know that Marquis Su and our Princess Changle of the Wei Kingdom led an army of [-] troops, and they have already defeated the [-] soldiers of the Jin Kingdom's general Han Renyan. Han Renyan was killed in the army, and our reinforcements will soon arrive! "Wu Shou said loudly, spreading the news quickly at this moment.

For a moment, the faces of the generals and the military academies were filled with joy, and the originally confused morale of the army immediately settled down.

Looking at this scene, Wu Shou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he suppressed the news that the guards came to help him was because he was waiting for this victory.

"Fortunately, Marquis Su did not disappoint." Wu Shou thought with gloomy eyes.

Why were the former guards confused by Wei Pan's strategy to shake the morale of the army? Without him, the court of Weiguo suffered consecutive military defeats, lost troops and lost ground, and the hearts of the people gradually drifted away.

And many guards are still newly recruited soldiers, and what they think in their minds is roughly-Wei Jun and his son are fighting for the position, and they are caught in the middle, fighting for life and death, but for what?
Whoever becomes the master of Diqiu, don't they all serve as soldiers and eat food?
This kind of war-weary thinking in the army is almost pervasive.

This is also the reason why Wu Shou rarely looted his property and rewarded the army after cleaning up the prefect of Gu'an County.

The so-called blocking is not as good as sparse, if you want to promote, you must suppress first.

"All generals listen to the order, follow me to the county office to discuss matters!" Wu Shou said loudly with a relaxed expression at the moment.

Then, as the news above the city wall spread to the county, the people who were originally confused and depressed also cheered up.

Gu'an County, twenty miles away.

Su Wei has nearly [-] coalition troops, with spears and halberds like a forest, and banners and banners hunting.

In the evening, the twilight was deep, and the torches like dragons had been lit in the well-organized and quiet army formation. The winter days were short and the nights were long.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, can we set up camp here?" General Peng Ji of the Forbidden Army clasped his hands in front of a horse with a yellow mane and asked.

Su Zhao looked up at the sky, nodded and said, "Order all the troops to set up camp and enter Gu'an County tomorrow."

A [-]-strong army marching, no matter how fast they move, it is impossible to completely abandon their supplies. After all, wars are fought with military supplies and logistics.

Therefore, this journey can be described as a hurry, and most of the lieutenant generals and soldiers are tired.

"Fortunately, according to what Xie Cang said, the Jin army will arrive at least the day after tomorrow." Su Zhao looked at Gu'an County, which was vaguely visible in the distance, and thought.

This marching competition ended with the victory of the Soviet-Western Allied Forces.

Peng Ji took the order to go, greeted the generals, set up camp, and buried pots to cook.

Yue Xin, who was also riding on a horse beside her, pursed her lips slightly, turned her head to look at the young gentleman opposite, and said in a clear voice, "Suhou, are you going to Gu'an soon?"

Su Zhao looked at Yue Xin with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Go to see Wu Shou first, and discuss some countermeasures. By the way, you will go with me too."

Speaking of which, this time the soldiers entered Gu'an, marching quickly, also in order to stabilize the grain road in the rear, Su Zhao asked Wei Jing to stay in Yunyi County to coordinate the dispatch and coordinate the grain supply.

Of course, Su Zhao had the intention of not letting Wei Jing and Yue Xin meet at the beginning.

Yue Xin was silent for a moment, then said softly: "The Jin army attacked Gu'an with a force of 30 to [-], do you have a chance of winning?"

Su Zhao smiled and said, "Why, Miss Yue, who has strategized and won thousands of miles, has something to teach me?"

For meeting the Jin army, he still has some plans in his heart, nothing more than sticking to each other and waiting for changes.

The Jin army had to worry about food shortages during the expedition.

Inside Jin State, Quwo Xiaozong tried to marry Qin State, and tried to usurp Jin State's official property.

At the same time, with Han Renyan's defeat, the strategy of alienation suggested by Cen Xiu earlier has become somewhat feasible.

Hearing Su Zhao's joke, Yue Xin glanced at Su Zhao, and said coldly, "Is there any good idea for military and national affairs, but I just want to remind Marquis Su, don't underestimate the enemy, and repeat the mistakes of Qilu coalition forces."

When Su Zhao heard this, his expression became serious, and he said inexplicably, "Thank you, Miss Yue, for reminding me."

Yue Xin snorted softly, and for some reason, she felt a little flustered when she met the real eyes of the young gentleman.

The day before yesterday, after all, she couldn't resist the threats and lures of the man in front of her, and she had agreed to become a surrogate for Yin Yin. At this moment, she had the blood of the young man in front of her in her womb.

Thinking of this, I sighed inwardly.

However, when Yue Xin was in a daze, she was startled suddenly and shouted: "You... what are you doing?"

But behind him on the saddle, the young prince had already wrapped his arms around his waist.

Su Zhao smiled and whispered in his ear: "Miss Yue, let's go to Gu'an County to have a look now, I will take you with me, so as not to move the fetus."
